can always use batterystatus to overclock the processor... i am running my touch at 260mhz with custom roms and 2 registry tweaks... it works like a charm ...

the only downside of this phone i would say is there is no keyboard which is hard to sms... other than that ... i would give a thumbs up for this phone

depends on how high you OC it lo ... for me i only OC it to 260mhz ... I've read forums which the person OC it to about 287mhz and still stable ...

as for batt wise ... hmmm i would say my touch can tahan bout 2 days ++

I would say batt life is dependent on if the wifi or bluetooth is switched on or off lo ...

after u OC to 260mhz.. u never turn it back to normal? i mean is u OC when u need it or?
*
I'm using the dynamic mode which will drop to 180mhz when i am not using it, 201mhz normal and 260mhz is OC ... but once u touch the screen either with the first touch or the second touch ... the processor will automatically be overclock by the program itself ...

do take note that overclocking do reduce the lifespan of the processor (based on my 2 cents, correct me if wrong)


Guys .... I am wondering ... there is a little small scratch in my screen protector ... but i am not sure its the screen protector or the screen crack ... how do u see this without removing the screen protector ?

thx thx

Hey guys, just wanna ask a question. How to install softwares into the HTC touch?

or you can transfer all the .cab files into your microSD and install them 1 by 1 using the explorer

hi everyone,

i just got my htc touch about a week ago, and after fiddling with the pda phone and even reading the manual, i still haven't figured alot of things and i have ALOT of questions which i hope some of you can help me out (please excuse my newbie-ness!)

1) speed
i) the phone is sluggish. is there anyway i can speed this up? i read somewhere on this forum that one can overclock the processor, 
    how do i do that? what other notable side effects long term and short term?
ii) is the RAM+ROM upgradable? where can i upgrade it if i could and for how much?

2) UI
i) is the touchflo interface customizable? meaning, can i add program shortcuts into the touchflo?
ii) is there an easier method of customizing ringtones? because to set an mp3 as a ringtone or sms tone, i need to copy the .mp3 or 
    wav files into specific folders (windows\rings and the windows folder) in order to select them from the settings>sounds and
    notifications

3) program errors
i) i tried logging on WLM and i managed to connect to the service and get online but i do not see any of my contacts online. they
    however can see me and msg me, only then i can converse with them. any clues how to rectify that? also, their contacts appear on
    my phone contacts. is this normal?
ii) i tried surfing http://m.youtube.com/ on IE, and while the video streams on WM6, it gives an error message.

4) customization
i) i've seen pictures of some customized htc touch phones, where their Launcher(on the htc today screen) has more available shortcuts than the original (extra 5 slots) and have extra buttons beneath the screen on WM6. is the customization more convenient? does it have known bugs?

that is all for now (i think!) and thank you for your patience and time reading my lengthy questions.

Here is a lil bit of help =)

1) Yes you can... with BatteryStatus you can overclock your processors speed to your hearts content (300++ mhz) - depending on the stability of your phone after that but I am using 260mhz for mine... Nope the Rom & Ram is not upgradable unless yours is a Elfin which is already 256 Rom and 128 Ram

2) yes you can customize your touchflo (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=374)
as for ringtones ... i am not sure ... hehehe

3) I hate using WLM coz it lags the phone and it has to always connect to windows live first ... I am using Palringo coz its free anyway =)
Try using Firefox rather than IE .... =)

4) Yes you can add extra buttons beneath the screen by using HTC touch Customization ... or you can also flash the phone with custom roms

hope this helps =)

how can iPhone be over rated when its not even being sold worldwide?
Even so, os x is by far superior than wm. iPhone is also not about features and dorky functions, its about style and self actualisation. You don't see iPhone trying to look like wm phones
*
OS X is superior than WM u mean? functions? stability? programs?

I prefer WM coz it has freewares which I can use and custom roms which can be flashed to suit my needs ...

lol ... anyway we lari topic d ... better go back to HTC Touch ...

Its really a waste that HTC Touch Dual doesnt have wifi ... if not i would get it already ... argg xD

how far can osx(iphone) explorer?? can Iphone do what WM do?? how many website that you can browse for iphone applications compare to WM applications website?? and how much you going to pay for iphone applications compare to WM applications ?? can iphone custom rom? osx doesnt hassle to install custom rom / applications it is because iphone's only for those who love the stylish and media functionality and for noob user. WM is for advance user.
*
wahhh better chill it man ... later flame here and there then not nice lo ...

iPhone is not too bad as in in terms of their screen which is better compared to other WM phones but then I would agree on limited programs available for iPhone which includes 3rd party programs as well... WM phones are fun as you can really change everything you want and even tweak the phone to your liking ... I always get bored with my custom roms thats why I always flash them when there is a new one available ... I am going to start learning how to cook roms so i can make 1 for myself =) ... lets juz pray my HTC doesnt become a heavy brick ... ehehehe xD


P.S ... thx evilpuppy for teaching me how to flash the phone ... xD thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

Hi,

I know there are alot of guys here with alot of technical knowledge. I am a girl, and sooooo not tech savvy, so I had trouble deciphering some of the many 41 pages of this thread. I have the following questions, which I hope a kind and patient gentleman/men can help me answer wub.gif

I went to check this phone out and played around with it for about 45 minutes. It did what I basically needed it to do, and I am quite comfortable using the internet functions (which is primarily my reason for looking at ths phone in the first place)

Questions:-

1) I was offered RM1688. Is this a good price to be getting this at? the package comes with 2GB SD card + the usuals.

2) I will use it basically for phone, sms, email. Will the processor speed be sufficient? (I am thinking yes, but just to be sure) I don't really download alot of songs, tho I may have some. I don't play games or use multiple applications at once. I may use some office functions but I am guessing I will only be using most things one at a time.

3) Is there any news of the HTC launching a newer model in the near future? (I don't want to buy this and kick myself in the butt when they do if it's gonna be very very soon)

4) Any other input in concise and not technical format so I can understand will be very much appreciated. Comments like whether it is an overall user friendly phone, value for money, any noticeable kinks/problems after using it for a while, battery life, hangs often or not, durability as in easy to maintain or be scratched etc..

I have small hands and thus small fingers. I like the way it looks and how it fits my palm. I have no problems using my fingers as well as the stylus.

Thanks guys..really appreciate your time, comments and input. I have already gone to see it twice. First when I was shown it, second when I used it to send email and check internet just to try it out, and if I go again, it will definitely be to buy it and I want to go today if possible!! You know lah girls..when feel like buying want to buy straight away tongue.gif So if you guys can advise me before I buy and if this is a mistake, pls let me know soon!!

Thank you all kindly smile.gif

1) I am sure this is not the HTC Touch II coz its too cheap to be true ... what more it comes with a 2GB SD card... and I bought mine during CNY for RM1999 for 2GB + 1 Bluetooth headset ...

2) If you think the phone is slow, there is always overclocking or flashing new roms =)

3) New phone = Pay More xD

4) The phone is fantastic if you like using the stylus to sms or to write or to email ... Battery life is about 2 and half days (depending on usage and settings of the phone) My HTC Touch II havent hang b4 even with the use of custom rom (Shadow V2 WM6.1)

My hand very big, palm also very fat but still can use ... so i am sure small hands should be great =)

sending and checking email is quite fast but again ... writing an email (the long long type) do take a lot of patience...

1 thing i love about the HTC is coz its running windows mobile which is good coz got tons of freeware or even shareware which you can use, if you like the program then u can consider buying them...

I am thinking of selling off my HTC Touch II (White) ... if you want ... drop me a PM ... I bought it from Digital Gadget at Low Yat during CNY and comes wit a 2GB card and bluetooth headset ...

Why am I selling it ??? Coz i am sick of writing sms ... lolx ... thinking of upgrading to cruise ...

Hi all,

isnt the HTC touch enhance code be HTC_3452? Cos i am just curious, the touch that i bought is the white colour enhanced version, but when i check through the system setting - device ID, it shows me HTC_3450 and also the hardware code is ELF0100 instead of ELFIN. (memory size is correct at 128/256)...

Can anyone clarify these to me, or is there anyone using the Touch Enhance that can check their pda's info and compare it to mine? Just worried mine is not the original but a modded set. Thanks.

Dont worry dude ... I got the same one as you ... as long as memory size is at 128/256 then confirm its touch enhanced d ... coz thats the only diffrence between touch enhanced and touch
